🧪⚒️ In a recent paper in Nature Communications, Dr. Társilo Girona and Dr. Kyriaki Drymoni claim that their machine learning algorithm can predict upcoming large earthquakes. We tested the method, and found that it does not work. Read more on our blog.

Does this machine learning model predict large earthquakes? Maybe not.

We examine a new earthquake paper in Nature Communications.

The first EPOS TCS AH webinar of Season 2 is next Monday (2024-09-30 16:00 CET). Come listen to Glenda and me discuss a couple of use cases in outreach and teaching related to induced seismicity using data from the EPOS EPISODES Platform. Sign-up below. ⚒️🧪

exciting news for seismologists everywhere. My greatest ever achievement, a functioning geophone made from Lego, is now available to purchase from mindsetsonline.co.uk , also available a usb 24bit digitiser.

Reasonable (for me) haul from the allotment before the thunderstorm started.

There is fossilised tree material at Broadhaven but I am pretty certain that what you have here are nodules of siderite (iron carbonate).
